Trend Flash™ – Showtime

June 4, 2018 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash™ is an exclusive benefit for Members of The Trend Curve’s subscriber family. Trish McBrude Ferguson, Editorial Correspondent, is in High Point for the semiannual Showtime textiles show. Her top trends are below. Read the next issue of The Trend Curve for more of Trisha’s trend insights.

Color

  • Greens were in demand, appearing in botanical shades from leaf and jade to emerald Blues continued to dominate in multiple types and personalities
  • Reds emerged in shades ranging from warm terracotta and brick to berry and garnet
  • Yellows peeked out in directional golden turmeric
  • Millennial pink and blush highlighted patterns and paired with warm neutrals
  • Mixes of warm and cool neutrals in the same pattern

Materials & Textures

  • Texture dominated, with visual dimension as important as construction
  • Embroidery, quilting and French knots created 3-D effects
  • Slub warps were at the heart of chunky weaves and textures
  • Subtle mixes of matte and metallic/shine, and hi and low dimension, got noticed
  • Designs mimicked artisanal, hand-woven designs; global quilt-inspired, hand-pieced and hand-stitched looks

Icons & Patterns

  • Florals continued in foundational roles
  • Trending patterns were beautifully imperfect
  • Neo-traditional focused on over-scaled interpretations of classic motifs: jumbo paisley, medallion, herringbone, flames stitch, ogee, and Ikat
  • Global influences were seen in nomadic and tribal-inspired patterns, Native American icons, and traditional rug-inspired motifs
  • Soft geometrics, menswear patterns continued in strength
  • Watercolor style expanded to include all things hand-painted
